°"The picture you paint as you go through life is your creation because God leads but you choose ultimately"°
☆God gives the raw materials, He deposits in us those things that make us unique (i.e. Our likes, dislikes, abilities, gifts and talents etc) and then He leaves us to choose how to workout/use these individualistic attributes, i believe that's why no two people can make of their lives the exact same thing and live it exactly the same way.
☆We choose our path, we create our lives, we make it happen, all by our thoughts, actions (or inaction) and decidons.
○Yes! Influence is there... influence from family, friends, school, religion, environment, books, and media but at the end of the day, we always decide on what to do and how to do it, we always make a choice (we may like to believe that we were/could be, persuaded, forced to do something but the truth is we choose {conciously or not} to give in to the persuation.
Our perception is shaped by our experiences and lessons but we choose what lesson to take, and how to work our perception out.

☆There's no that one thing we are created to do, no purpose, its a blank slate. Do with yourself as you want. You choose to allow God guide you or not..
○Yes! I do believe they are people that God calls and gives specific mandate just as I believe He will lead us (not force us, sorta like tell us the path He wishes for us.) but He gives us {has given us} will -the ability to decipher and choose which way we want to go.
°"Life is not a process of discovery, it's a process of creation"°
☆'He has deposited 'all' already within us, {The bible says 'He has given us everything pertaining to life and righteousness, meaning the inward us is Whole and knows all and needs nothing} but as we live and experience, our individual choices work together shaping the outward us.
☆As we go through life we create! We are not discovering cause we already are, we just with every choice create/make our existence into what we want it to be (or not). We are 'whole tiny pieces' of Him but we create on earth who we become, we use all in us to shape us (out).
Wow thanks for re-echoing the value of choice we all are to make. So love D's write up. More grace
